Economists have a message: Clinton's policies are wrong for America

Remember how a gang of establishment toady economists said Hillary would be better for the economy? Now some real economists have weighed in on her plans.

On Monday, I joined with 305 economists from universities, think tanks and businesses across the country to convey a message to the American people: “Hillary Clinton’s economic agenda is wrong for America.”

Our statement, printed below in its entirety and signed by some of the country’s most prominent economic theorists and practitioners, bemoans how “misguided federal policies have produced one of the slowest recoveries on record.” It warns that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, “promises to repeat almost all of [President] Obama’s policy mistakes” and her “outdated policy prescriptions won’t return our economy to the faster growth rates it once enjoyed.”

While Clinton offers more of the same, we suggest an alternative. “What America needs, and what Americans deserve,” says the statement, “is an agenda of economic freedom: limited but effective government, policies that rely on and strengthen markets, pro-growth tax reform, sensible federal spending restraint, regulatory relief, sound money, and freedom to trade.” …​

It is curious that so many economists would issue such a statement and in it not mention one single specific policy position or action that they think should be undertaken. That's like a baker telling someone the cake they plan to make has all the wrong ingredients in it, and also not specifying so much as one single ingredient that should be in the cake. Come on....

"Carter was a deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush and served as chief economist of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee."

Yes, lets double down on that free market that worked so great it crashed spectacularly under Bush.

These economists are either not real economists, or they are republican sell outs. You would have to be a complete moron to think strengthening the middle class isn't a priority. You also have to be moron to think international trade doesn't harm the economy at home. Also, under Obama, wages have gone up, job growth has been 15 million plus, the stock market is doing better now than ever before, corporate profits are also at an all time high.

Those are facts.

I thought all the universities were run by liberals? What happened?

 

[my2¢]

I think it's a question of whether Americans are tired of slow-and-steady. I imagine those youngsters that backed Bernie would be most anxious to see the economy kicked in high gear. The ones living in their parents' basements.

Actually they have seen first hand what happens when the economy is kicked into high gear and don't want it to happen again to them or their future children.

Greenspan really was a delight.

He refused to use his power to regulate, even after (he admits) he studied collateralized mortgage obligations and couldn't understand them.

Then, combined with that, he held interest rates down even after the big (phony) real estate bubble was exploding into the stratosphere.

He sat there and smiled and accepted credit as his own little financial services Wild West fantasy played out before him and set us up for disaster.

Really, quite a guy, seriously.

when Brooksley Born came to th hearings with greenspan she told greenspan and his little band of followers that in 10 years if he doesn't stop the over the counter derivatives .. that the republicans had deregulated the market so they could push them ... she said I predict the country in 10 years will go into another great depression if they don't stop this practice ... greenspan with his all wisdom said at the time well if it goes bad then the market will adjust ...they just plain ignored her ... this was 1998 .... exactly 10 years later 2008 the market crashed ... these republicans can't or won't listen at all
